Excited for the School Opening

My kids are but not me lol! Back to school in the next few days and back to waking up at 4am to cook and prepare the kids’ stuff. They’re all excited for this coming school year since we’ve shopped for their bags and other school things middle of May. I don’t like rushing and buying all this necessities in June as I know there are plenty of late shoppers as well. When we bought all our kids’ school things we have the time to shop conveniently and with all the kids’ preferred items in full stock.

The little boy is entering the big school this year as Grade 1 and my eldest will soon be a high school freshman. She had the feel of her school and liked it when she had her summer advance class for more than 3 weeks. My youngest girl will be in her last grade in primary and hoping to achieve her goal to climb the stage on her graduation. This little girl really has a lot of perseverance and wants to be on the top always.

Anyway they’re all the best of their potentials last year and I told them to mix their hard work with lots of prayers to God to give them guidance and wisdom on their studies. I believe that studying and learning can be done and honors achieved through hard work which some says ‘burning of eyebrows’ (pagsusunog ng kilay). With the help of God and us I know my kids will achieve their goals and dreams up to when they will eventually choose their own field of studies and career.

My Cousins’ Secret

My Mom’s birthday was like a reunion for me as I long to see my dear first cousins in Laguna and I was surprised that even though they’re a lot older than me their skin is still supple and wrinkle-free. I was thinking if they’re using a cream like prevera but they said aloud the answer to my thoughts. They were not using any cream and they were just eating plenty of fruits and vegetables because their doctor advised them not to eat pork as much as possible. So that’s their secret. Now I’ll continue with my cleansing meal plan so when I reached their age my skin will not look old and possibly wrinkle-free.

Early Preparations for the Rainy Season

DH told the girls to arrange their things and tidy up their room because in two weeks time they will so busy with the school opening. It’s their personal things so we want them to arrange it their way. I can help them with cleaning up but because it’s their school vacation it’s best to let them do it to train them.

We’re also scheduled to have a general cleaning on the master’s bedroom before it can be renovated. We need another storage for hubby’s tools like DuraMax DuraMate 8x8 Vinyl Storage Shed Kit 00314 to arrange everything up before the rainy and flood season. Next week we’re having the roofing’s and gutter system check to complete our early preparations. Well we need to work hard as all these preparations need a lot of money to finance. I’m thankful that these past few days gave us plenty of blessings too.

Mom's Birthday!

It’s my Mom’s birthday today and we just made her blow her cake today because we’ve celebrated her birthday already yesterday. We’ve decided to celebrate it one day ahead so everyone can join us. She was so happy as her relatives, nieces, nephews, grandchildren came from Laguna to join her on her 78th birthday. We brought 4 vehicles on Lake Villa Resort in one of the lake towns of Rizal. The scenery was enjoyable and so were the fresh air, vast area and cool waters of the pools. We feasted on pork mechado, lumpiang shanghai, fried chicken, laing, spaghetti, cake, sacks of fruits from Laguna, buco-fruit salad and many more.

We thanked God for giving and keeping Mom with a healthy body, sound mind, kind heart and charming personality. She’s loved by all around her and she’s happy to give her time to all who need some advice from her. Indeed our dear Mom has aged gracefully.

A Bankable Investment Since the Old Generation

I have an Uncle who in my childhood days often tells me stories of Japanese soldiers and how they struggled through the period that Filipinos were under the Japan regime. It wasn’t a funny story to tell but my Uncle was so proud of himself because he survived the death March and was able to escape the wrath of the war. Of course he’s always the great young Filipino then and as I remember myself listening to his never-ending stories I’m beginning to smile to myself because through listening to him I learned many things. He told me how the old folks are so keen on investing in gold and because the war doesn’t respect anything including your personal belongings they used to hide their gold underneath their house. They dug themselves a hiding place during the most frightening moments and they hide their gold jewelleries there.

Well as a child I was really amazed at his stories and was thankful that I listened to him because that’s a true personal experience and not just the ones you see in movies or read in books. Some of the things he told me are still going on today, not the war but the gold investment. Now we can buy gold coins for our investment but instead of keeping it under our house we can store them safely in our storage box with vault or have it safely deposited in bank. It’s a proven and tested investment of all times because it appreciates value over the years.

Early Birthday Celebration

We had an early celebration of my Mom’s birthday at Lake Villa Resort. It was made more enjoyable as it was attended by family and our relatives in our hometown in Laguna. I’m so happy that we decided to make it a swimming birthday celebration as it’s so relaxing to do it that way. Well even if I’m tired from all the cooking in the house and in the resort it’s worth it all. Anyway after lunchtime we had all the time in the world to swim, chat, take pictures or just rest and view the pretty scenery by the lake.

After so many years I saw DH relax and had a good time without thinking of the hardship in his work. I and the kids were so glad he was able to come with us now. We enjoyed the kids’ pool that much that we stayed there for more than an hour sitting there and relaxing with the splash of fountain on our faces. Just too tired to post pictures now, maybe I’ll just post when I have a time.

The Pasture Test

Just thought of taking this test just for knowing some of my inner me that sometimes only a test like this would know lol! My daughter is so fond of taking personality test, she got it from me because I'm really fond of test like this. I even took some personality and psychological test in my work previously. Then I used the tests on our applicants. Why? Because I don't just test the skills and knowledge of the applicants as I also want to know if their mental and emotional capabilities are in normal condition. I know that tests like this one somehow reflects a part of us. So here's the result of my test:

You Are Poetic

You see beauty, colors, and inspiration where other people see nothing.

You are a gentle and sensitive soul that craves love and understanding.

You take pride in your interesting ideas, and you feel wounded if others challenge you too fiercely.

You feel most comfortable in places where you know everyone. It's likely you are still in touch with your childhood friends.

It’s true that nothing beats the nature for giving us wonderful relaxation after being tired from work and household chores. It doesn’t have to be in a faraway place to enjoy the nature because it’s in your own backyard or patio only. You just have some creativity on how you’re going to have your Outdoor furniture look as inviting and relaxing as ever. The comfortable look of your furniture should always be in your mind because if you’re going to rest there at the end of the day it should be the most comfortable place on earth.
